Summary:

Zip code 47993 is served by one public elementary school, Williamsport Elementary School, which educates students from Kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the MSD Warren County school district.

Williamsport Elementary School, serving 212 students, has experienced a slight decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating in recent years, moving from a 3-star rating in the 2020-2021 school year to a 2-star rating in the following two years. Academically, the school's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years are below both the MSD Warren County district average and the Indiana state average. However, a notable positive finding is the 6th-grade performance in the 2024-2025 data, where proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly exceed the district averages. The school also shows higher proficiency in 6th-grade Science compared to the district. A significant concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is often associated with lower academic achievement. With 66.51% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a population with substantial socioeconomic needs.

Despite these challenges, Williamsport Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 and a spending per student of $12,194, indicating that resources are being allocated to support students. The key challenge appears to be effectively translating these resources into improved academic outcomes across all grade levels, with the exception of the strong 6th-grade performance. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate is crucial for improving overall student success.
